Thornbury offers a good selection of highly sought after period homes, says WBP’s Sean Thomson, but it pays to be selective as to the location of your purchase. He highlights the area between St Georges Road, Bell Road and Victoria Road as the one to watch.

“There are some beautiful consistent streets there, with period homes,” he explains. “And being near St Georges Road you’ve got tram, train and road access back into the city.”

He adds, however, that Thornbury has its fair share of commercial and industrial areas that are best avoided. Railway Place, for example, dissects the Metropolitan Tram Depot and the Northern Mail Centre.

If houses in Thronbury are above your budget, Thomson suggests that this is one area of Melbourne that still offers quality apartments at an affordable price.

“Thornbury has a beautiful mixture of low-density apartment blocks from the 1950s, 60s and 70s,” he says. “They go up to around 12 in a block and there’s good affordability at this stage for a good two-bedroom apartment. But you’ve got to be highly selective.”

Looking at the median price point for units in the surrounding suburbs, it looks as if he has a point on the affordability front, with Thornbury’s median unit price coming in lower than that of neighbouring Preston, Northcote, and Ivanhoe according to RP Data stats.
